Compare Workamajig with other popular tools in the same category.
We use Workamajig for much of our internal project organization and use Platinum for time tracking. It's definitely an improvement to the previous functionality. The interface is easier to use, easier on the eyes, and saves a lot of time due to the improved tabular structure. Support is also excellent.
Still lots of weird workflow things you have to make sure to do - check certain boxes, make sure everything is set up perfectly. Once you get the hang of it its not too bad but there is a learning curve
Time tracking, project management, budget management and accounting (all in one tool).
I like the UI the best. It is much cleaner and a better UX than the "non" platinum version of the app.
The mobile app still needs some work. I found myself searching for things too much.
Solving our scheduling and overall project organization needs.
Workamajig is a great product because of its versatility. It allows you to customize your project workflows for what your company specifically needs. It also will connect via an API to your Accounting software to account for billable hours, which is great. It has great features for tracking hours worked on each project and to easily view how much work is on your team's plates for the upcoming days so you can plan accordingly.
There were a few features our company used with project workflow software that Workamajig didn't have, which were the ability to auto assign teams to specific projects; with Workamajig you have to manually assign the team members who will work on each task / project. The other feature that was more challenging with Workamajig was review cycles, meaning reviewing work and sending it back for rework as many times as needed.
Project workflow process and project organization
The task cards are great. They give you a quick picture of what your day looks like.
We are always having to customize this to our needs and it takes time.
We are now able to decide if we have the time/people available to take on new customers or not. We have also been able to predict if a job would be profitable or not.
I like the new layout and I like the scheduling options. More user friendly. I haven't spent a lot of time with platinum, but what I have checked out I like.
That I can't do a workback schedule in jigs (or if I can that I haven't figured out how yet).
I have only checked out platinum a few times, but we use jig in general for almost everything, projects, budgets, reporting, and scheduling. Its nice to be able to do everything all in one place.
I really like the ease the platform provides to manage jobs and communications amongst employees. The diary notes functionality makes capturing all project member communication easy.
There are very few things I dislike. I wish that I would be able to assign to do items and create to-do lists for projects, similar to the functionality in Basecamp
We are using it for our agency to manage projects, budgets and resources. We have benefitted from our project planning and estimating capabilities.
Easy to store leads, various contacts per client. Also a great tool for invoicing and easy to find past invoices, quickly see what is paid and remains open.
Not able to preview many of my invoices in screen- need to pop open an email or a separate pdf.
Better communication flow with external clients
I like the fact that it isn't based on a bunch of modal windows.
Labelling is strange. Lot's of unhelpful animations.
Just adding hours
Transparency among teams., stakeholders and other key players.
UX/UI can be confusing at times. Without training, it would be difficult to figure out.
Increased project efficiency.
I like how much more user-friendly Platinum is compared to the previous version.
It was difficult to adjust to the new version after getting used to the old one.
Organizing jobs & keeping track of budgets.
